Note that the "Exp Salary" column adds your current salary to the average salary of available players in the buckets you still need, but it does NOT factor in players that may not be eligible for you to draft (that formula would be way more complicated). For example: bigsteve12 needs a 2B and the average salary of undrafted 2B is 4.5 million, but bigsteve12 only has two eligible 2B he can draft and they cost 4.9M and 6.3M. I'm sure most of you by now have your 24-man roster nearly set and have penciled in many of the remaining players that you plan on drafting at the end.

I'll fill my Bench1 slot with 1964 Frank Thomas $1,257,632.

This is turning into something that might not be hypothetical: What happens if you wind up with no valid selections for a slot because every player remaining is from a year that you have already filled?
